In a one bedroom apartmentOn the humble side of townThere stands a little Christmas treeIt looks a lot like Charlie Brown's…

…No, it's not in the snow that may or may not fallAnd it's not in the gifts around the treeIt's in the love Heaven gave, that night our Savior cameAnd that same love can still be found wherever you are

'Cause Christmas is all in the heartAnd the joy can still be found, wherever you are'Cause Christmas is all, all in the heartIt's all in the heart

As you can see, today’s Christian Christmas music still focuses on the birth of Jesus Christ, but often with a look at the people and emotions felt back in that humble stable. They also tend to tell a story that draws you in where you identify because of your own experiences.
